Sorry to hear that it broke. I assume that you had not had it tuned since you mention getting Steven Kan to work on the map. Sorry to bust *****.

"all three apex seals on the front rotor"? If you really did have it tuned, it sounds like you also better look at your injectors on your front rotor. If all three went, then you could have been running lean on that rotor.
Just an idea.... Good luck and happy rebuilding. We've all been there

blowing two will yield 0 psi compression on all three faces as well.

how do you know you blew three? visual inspection?

seems like once the first two blow, you don't have enough compression to blow the 3rd...I'm just curious, that's why I asked.

Yeah, but if you still wan't to get rid of it, and the rest of the car is good, i'll outbid the other offer of $500 to $500.01 hahaha, just kidding. Glad to hear you are doing that. I had to get a new engine also, it is being installed. However with shipping it here to Italy, I paid so far $4100. Still need to pay the mechanic here... ouch!!

he's having it rebuilt............ I thought he already mentioned that.


Your car is up at Davinci, been up there for like 3 months. The kid bought it from a car lot and a couple weeks later, it popped. It sits until he can find someone to buy it.
